I have been trying to find LX0 midnight purple 3 i have so far looked through the Max Mayer code book and PPG book, but there not listed. Could anyone please help me find a supplier i am from melbourne any help would be very much appretiated. thanks ender.

Mate alot of the times the colours you are looking for, are exclusive to manufacturers only. For example, my mate had his GTR sprayed a rare purple colour that Ford only produced, and the only way to get is was from Ford directly...

Try contact the manufacturer that made that colour (if it has been made by a car manufacturer) if not any good spray painter will be able to mix you up a colour (will be cheaper) that is 100% identical...

Well I've never had a problem getting a paint supplier to mix me up some, I was using Dupont paints at the time and the special tinter (Chromillusion) was available, I switched paint suppliers to Sikkens and they could also supply it, ask your local paint shop would be my suggestion although they will not have the formula on there system, they will have to ask there supplier to mix it, It's not cheap to! I was quoted £400 or $900 for 1/2 ltr!! but that was unmixed so you can double the amount when mixed with thinners, but your going to need about 3ltr to paint a car, so thats $2700 for the base coat alone, prices could be different over your side of the pond though.

and from what ive been told it must be applied in 2 "stages" so to speak.

Kinda, It has to be applied over a black base or primer to get the effect.

damn $1000 a litre, are you sure that's not for a candy style replica?

Man i thought NIssan Bayside blue was expensive($1200 for 4L pearl)

but that is heaps!!! :)

Its extremely over priced IMO, I would go for HOK every time http://www.houseofkolor.com/hok/index.jsp
